Roger discovers that he needs to buy some chicken as well. He buys an amount of
chicken that weighs more than the beef he bought and less than the turkey he
bought. Give an amount in pounds that the chicken could weigh, rounded to the
nearest hundredth of a pound.
Roger is curious to know the total weight of all four sandwich fillings he bought. He
weighs it twice, once using ounces and once using grams. If 16 ounces = 1 pound
and 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram, will the total weight of the sandwich fillings be a
greater number of ounces or a greater number of kilograms? Explain your answer
To find the possible weight range for the chicken, we need to compare it to the weights of the beef and turkey. Let's say the beef weighs x pounds and the turkey weighs y pounds.
Since the chicken weighs more than the beef, the weight of the chicken in pounds should be greater than x.
Similarly, since the chicken weighs less than the turkey, the weight of the chicken in pounds should be less than y.
Therefore, the possible weight range for the chicken in pounds is (x, y).
As for the total weight of the sandwich fillings, we need to compare ounces and kilograms.
We know that 16 ounces = 1 pound, so the weight in ounces will always be greater than the weight in pounds. This means the weight in ounces will be a greater number.
On the other hand, 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram. Since 1,000 grams is a larger unit than 1 kilogram, the weight in grams will always be a greater number than the weight in kilograms.
Therefore, the total weight of the sandwich fillings will be a greater number of ounces than kilograms.
I'm confused.
I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify:
The weight range for the chicken is between the weight of the beef and the weight of the turkey. If the beef weighs 5 pounds and the turkey weighs 10 pounds, then the chicken could weigh anywhere between those two weights.
For the total weight of the sandwich fillings, we need to compare ounces and kilograms.
In terms of ounces, we add up the weights of the beef, turkey, and chicken. If the beef weighs 5 pounds (80 ounces), the turkey weighs 10 pounds (160 ounces), and the chicken weighs between 5 and 10 pounds (80-160 ounces), the total weight in ounces would be between 240 and 400 ounces.
In terms of kilograms, we need to convert the weights from pounds to kilograms. 1 pound is approximately 0.45 kilograms. So the beef would weigh 2.25 kilograms, the turkey would weigh 4.5 kilograms, and the chicken would weigh between 2.25 and 4.5 kilograms.
Comparing the total weights in ounces and kilograms, we can see that the number of ounces will be a larger value than the number of kilograms. This is because there are 16 ounces in a pound, while there are only 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Since there are more units in an ounce, the total weight in ounces will be greater than the total weight in kilograms.
I hope this clarifies things. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Help me with this first
Roger discovers that he needs to buy some chicken as well. He buys an amount of
chicken that weighs more than the beef he bought and less than the turkey he
bought. Give an amount in pounds that the chicken could weigh, rounded to the
nearest hundredth of a pound.
To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, I need to convert the quantities to the same unit.
1 kilogram ≈ 2.2 pounds
1.5 kilograms ≈ 1.5 * 2.2 pounds ≈ 3.3 pounds (turkey)
2.25 pounds (cheese)
Since 3.3 pounds (turkey) is greater than 2.25 pounds (cheese), Roger purchased more turkey.
Based on the information given, the chicken purchased by Roger should weigh more than 2.25 pounds (the weight of the beef) and less than 3.3 pounds (the weight of the turkey).
So the possible weight of the chicken is between 2.25 and 3.3 pounds.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound, the chicken could weigh anywhere between 2.25 and 3.29 pounds.
Give me an answer
The chicken could weigh between 2.25 pounds and 3.29 pounds, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound.
Roger is curious to know the total weight of all four sandwich fillings he bought. He
weighs it twice, once using ounces and once using grams. If 16 ounces = 1 pound
and 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram, will the total weight of the sandwich fillings be a
greater number of ounces or a greater number of kilograms? Explain your answer.
To determine whether the total weight of the sandwich fillings will be a greater number of ounces or kilograms, we need to compare the conversion rates between the two units.
Given that 16 ounces = 1 pound, we can calculate the weight of the sandwich fillings in ounces by adding the weights of each individual filling in pounds and converting it to ounces.
Let's assume the weights of the beef, turkey, cheese, and chicken are 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 2.25 pounds, and 3 pounds respectively.
Total weight in pounds = 5 + 10 + 2.25 + 3 = 20.25 pounds
Total weight in ounces = 20.25 * 16 = 324 ounces
Therefore, the total weight of the sandwich fillings in ounces is 324 ounces.
On the other hand, given that 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram, we need to convert the weights of each individual filling in pounds to kilograms and sum them up to get the total weight in kilograms.
Converting the weights:
Beef: 5 pounds * 0.45 kilograms/pound = 2.25 kilograms
Turkey: 10 pounds * 0.45 kilograms/pound = 4.5 kilograms
Cheese: 2.25 pounds * 0.45 kilograms/pound = 1.01 kilograms
Chicken: 3 pounds * 0.45 kilograms/pound = 1.36 kilograms
Total weight in kilograms = 2.25 + 4.5 + 1.01 + 1.36 = 9.12 kilograms
Therefore, the total weight of the sandwich fillings in kilograms is 9.12 kilograms.
Comparing the two values, we can conclude that the total weight of the sandwich fillings is a greater number of kilograms (9.12 kilograms) than ounces (324 ounces).
